Permanent link to specific version of a document

When ‘Sharing’ documents is it possible to issue (say for emailing to someone) a permanent link to the document i.e. one which is locked to the version and not one that changes or fails if a new version is subsequently added?
There appears to be two groups of document links in SharePoint, the current version and previous versions.
The current document version is referenced by a canonical path:
http://site/document library/document.doc 
A prior document version is referenced from a revision path. But this only works for non-current versions:
http://site/_vti_history/versionID/document.doc  (Where versionID is generated by SharePoint)
Therefore every time a new document revision is created the contents of the canonical path will change. The canonical path will point to the new document version while the previous version of the document is only available with the revision path.
Therefore it is not possible to create a permanent link to a version of the document if at the time of issuing it is the current version.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a permanent link to specific version of a document.
If a new version is created, the contents of the canonical path will change. Although the version number will increase, the previous version number will not change.
If you want version 1.0, then the URL for this version will always be
http://site/_vti_history/512/document.doc.

  • Linking to specific page in pdf document

    I'm trying to link to a specific page within a pdf document
    using the following syntax:
    https://uhaul.net/publications/publication.ashx?FileName=MB197.pdf#page=3
    However, the pdf opens to the first page, instead of to page
    3 (which is what I want). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can only do this if the attachment is a PDF file. Here are the help instructions that explain how to create a link in the main PDF document that jumps to the PDF attachment.

  • Linking to a SPECIFIC place in a document

    Hello,
    I am wanting to link from specific text in one document to a specific location in another document.  I have created Named Anchors in the document that I want to specific text to link to.  The code is listed below:
         <span class="style2">CHS 314</a><a name="CHS314" id="CHS314"></a> - Introduction to Native American Studies - Spring 2006:</a></span>
    I have used the Point to File method with both documents open (tiled vertically) to point from the text (in the document mission statement.html)  to the Named Anchor (in the document Research Papers.html).  Here is the code:
         <a href="Research Papers.html#CHS314">critical discussion of works of literature </a>
    The problem is that when I test this code in FireFox and IE, it opens to the PAGE (Research Papers.html)  but NOT to the SPECIFIC LOCATION (the  named anchor) #CHS314 on the page.
    I am wanting to and need to use the text on one page to point to specific courses on another page.  It doesn't really do me any good to open the page, without going to a specific location on the page.
    Am I missing something in the instructions on how to accomplish this task????
    You sage wisdom and expertise greatly appreciated.

    I don't think you're getting the picture. They are talking about having enough content on a page that will cause a browser with a viewport shorter than the content to scroll. When your content is too short to scroll, it is not difficult to find the place in the page you linked to - particularly with your naming scheme. We are talking about browser scrolling functions, not CSS.
    A couple of screen shots to illustrate (click to enlarge, if you want to):
    In the above grab, the browser's viewport is taller than the content (excluding your top banners and menus). It did its best to scroll to CHS314, but hit the bottom of the page.
    The above grab shows that a shorter browser viewport was able to scroll your link to the top, because there was enough content to scroll there without hitting the bottom of the page.
    Does that help?

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4

    Hi all,
    I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4.
    I have no trouble linking to the beginning of a document; however I want to be able to link to a specific chapter/area of a document I am creating. My plan is that as people progress through the e-learning they can link back to the electronic manual I am creating from where they left off.
    I have a workaround of creating separate documents and linking to them, but this is time consuming and messy.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do; I have looked around the forums and, unless I am blind, can't find anything like I am looking for.
    Cheers

    Hi there
    What type of document are you trying to link to? PDF? Word Doc?
    Cheers... Rick

  • On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

    On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on?  Thank you.  Ed

    Welcome to the Apple family!!!! 
    How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
    Press Control-Option and F5.   The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over.  This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
    How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
    How to read a website with VoiceOver
    Step 1:  Go to the Website
    A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L.  This will jump you up to the address bar.  Start typing where you want to go.  i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
    Step 2:  Working with Webpage
    VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website.  You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'. 
    If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it.  If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
    Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website.  This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
    Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'.  You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
    If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I 
    Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
    Step 3.  Reading from Top to Bottom
    Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title. 
    After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on. 
    Note:  If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too. 
    Tip:  You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'.  The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads  The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R.  You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'. 
    I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
    You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar.  To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M. 
    Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.  This will open up another window.  Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'.  If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

    The  'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H.  (hit H twice)  is my best friend.  It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command.  Example:  You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command.   Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph.  It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph.  I believe there are three.   
    As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures

    Rotor
    Change the rotor settings
    Two-finger rotate
    Move to the previous item based on the rotor setting
    Flick up
    Move to the next item based on the rotor setting
    Flick down
    To customize other gestures by assigning VoiceOver commands to them, use the Trackpad Commander.
    Assigning VoiceOver commands to gestures
    If you need a reminder about what a gesture does, press VO-K to start keyboard help, and then use the gesture on the trackpad and listen to the description.

  • How to choose a specific version and detect the same specific version?

    I've found the following link in other posts about choosing versions programmatically:
    http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/versions.html
    Well, I'm not quite sure how to use that classid for "static versioning". I mean, if I need to use 1.3.1_08 but not others (not even 1.3.1_07 or 1.3.1_09, but only 1.3.1_08), what classid should I use?
    That page doesn't teach us what syntax we're supposed to use!
    On the other hand, my webapp needs to detect what JRE is installed and would suggest what to do in case the specific version can't be found in client computer. What should I do?
    Thirdly, I've noticed that the order of installing versions is important. Let's say there're two versions in a computer, V1 and V2, while what I need is V1. Depending on V1 or V2 is the final installed one, my detection might or might not work. Someone knows what to do?
    TIA

  • Links no longer work after signing document

    Links no longer work after signing document - I have updated to latest version and run installation repair, is this a problem or is it supposed to do that?

  • How to tell what version of a document the workflow ran against?

    I am using the OOB Approval workflow and in the workflow information I see a Document field, but that links latest version of the document. How can I tell what version of the document the workflow actually ran against?

    Hi,
    Set a variable in the workflow to be equal to the version of the document.
    Now you can use this variable to update a column in the document library with the version and date the workflow was ran. Next time the workflow runs, update this column with next run details.
    OR write this variable to workflow history. Hope it helps.

  • Turn a text database search result into a clickable .pdf link to specific images

    Hello and Good Afternoon all. 
    This is baffling me to no end, pretty desperate at this point. 
    I have a successfully implemented a search and results page from my database table 'products'.  The results page displays a field from this table as products, msds, datasheet, description.  I would like the msds & datasheet results to be clickable links to files in my images/pdf/msds folder or the images/pdf/datasheet folder. 
    The links are specific filenames such as msds-product.pdf or datasheet-product.pdf..  How can I get these links to open the exact filename that comes up in my search result?  I can make it open the entire folder but I want just the specific file. 
    I don't write code very well - thank you for any help you can provide.  Cindy

  • Invoking a specific version of java over the internet

    According to [this page|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html], the applet tag should be used if the web page is accessed through the internet and object or embed ought to be used if it's through an intranet. Why?
    Later, that article says that if you want to invoke a specific version of Java that you can do so with either of the intranet tags (using a specific classid for the object tag or a specific type for the embed tag), but doesn't say anything about doing it with the applet tag, making be conclude that, with the applet tag, it's not possible.

    You said "I will not try to guess what that doc. meant." That doesn't necessarily mean that there are others who can't. Maybe there are people who post on forums.sun.com that don't post on comp.lang.java.programmer? If anyone there knew, it seems like they would have responded?
    The <https://jdk6.dev.java.net/deployment_advice.html> link... I dunno... it didn't seem as comprehensive as the one my first post linked to. Doesn't discuss embed, for instance, nor does it mention anything about intranet's vs. internet's. Maybe Sun decided between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 that the whole internet / intranet distinction was pointless, but if so, that'd be nice to know.
    Besides, sometimes hearing people explain it in different ways helps. Whether or not it'd help here is something I can't say until I've heard other explanations (if there are any to be had).
    (I'm yawnmoth, btw - I was logged out when I tried to make this post so I tried to login with 'yawnmoth' as my username and it asked me for a new username? maybe my 'yawnmoth' username is actually my email address?)

  • Cable specification to connect the Document Camera to the CODEC CTS 3010

    Hi to all,
    I would like to know  the cable specification to connect the Document Camera to the CODEC in a CTS 3010 and which way round it needs to go.  As I understand it we need a DVI (Camera end) to HDMI (CODEC end) cable plus one CAT5/CAT6 cable.  Can you please clarify?
    Best regards,
    Alberto

    Yes.  There are a ton of write-ups on how to do the connections.   I connect my m-audio Keystation 61 es through the CCK to my iPad and use GarageBand to control it.  Some keyboards require a powered USB hub to make things work.  I use a belkin 4 port hub in my own setup.   Here is a link to tested / verified keyboards that work via the CCK:  http://iosmidi.com/devices/

  • Linking to specific text

    Hi All!
    I would like to link to specific text within a PDF document.
    I can link to pages, but I can't link to specific text within a page.  Is there any way to do this?
    I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8 using Acrobat 9.4.0 ...
    Thank you so much!!
    Diane

    Hi!
    Thank you again!
    I know I can link to a page but that's not what I need.
    I need to be able to link to specific text on a page.
    See, if the text I need to link to is in the middle of the page then it kind of creates a problem because the link doesn't go directly to that text, instead it goes to the top of the page that the text appears in.
    That's not what I want it to do.
    I want the text that I link to, to be what shows at the top of the window, rather than the beginning of the page that the text appears on.
    Thank you for trying!  I'm thinking Acrobat probably can't do what it is I want to do.
    Have a good day and week!
    Diane
